Our certified organic dairy products are Non-GMO Project Verified, certified kosher, and gluten free. The cows are never treated with hormones or antibiotics. They graze on pesticide-free organic pastures during good weather and are given 100% organically grown supplemented feeds.

The cows graze on sweet grasses in the unique, coastal climate of Western Marin and Sonoma Counties in Northern California. This grazing environment is reflected in the rich and unique flavor of Straus’ organic milk, organic cream, and all of our organic dairy products.

Always get your ice cream at the end of your shopping trip and bring a cooler bag with you. Also, when you’re done scooping it at the table, don’t let it stand out, but put it right back in the freezer. Because we don’t use any additives or stabilizers, our ice cream doesn’t hold its shape as well when it thaws.

It’s best to get your ice cream at the end of your shopping trip and bring a cooler bag to help keep it cold on the journey home.

Almost 4,000 gallons of cow manure is collected each day from the barns at the Straus Dairy Farm and deposited in the methane digester. This is converted to renewable energy and nutrient-rich compost.

A methane digester converts biogas into renewable electricity to power the entire 500-acre Straus Dairy Farm. The annual amount of biogas produced is equivalent to removing 347 passenger vehicles from the roadways, according to the EPA.
